Miriam,
 
My understanding is that when you talk about energy, one of the main
ideas is that energy is a property of substances and that most change
involves energy transfer. When you look at your list, these are types
of ways energy is transformed. Mechanical energy is the energy
associated with the movement of objects such as a wind up toy or an
oscillating fan and would probably be the same as motion that you
listed. Others you could include would be electric (energy associated
with electricity), magnetic (energy associated with magnets and
mechanical energy), and sound energy (energy associated with sound).
Examples of magnetic energy could be a compass (needle moving to point
North) and an example of sound energy could be using a tuning fork to
move water through vibration.

I have formed a list of different forms of energy. Anyone know if I am
missing any or if I have some that should not be on this list.
 
Heat
Motion
Light
Kinetic
Potential
Mechanical
Solar
Chemical
 
Also, what is Mechanical? Is it just another word for Kinetic?
 
Miriam
